Japanese culture was originated from historical times. It was gone Asian, European and the North American influences. Traditional Japanese culture includes ceramics, making dolls and swords, bonraku, kabuki, playing new theatrical performances, dances, rakugo (when there is only one person on the stage and tells comic story). Tea-drinking ceremony, ikebana, military art, calligraphy, origami and onsen (resorts built near the natural resources), geishas are also considered to be the part of the Japanese culture. Beginning from the 20th century the animen and mangan were involved into the culture, too. In Japan the literature was originated in the 8th century. In the Edo era ukiyo (floating world) was appeared. It was founded by play writer Ihara Saykaku. However, Japanese literature turned into the western traditions. Natsume Soseki and Mori Oga became the first modern writers, later, Ryunoske Akutagava, Yukio Mishima and Haruki Murakami also joined to this group. The writers Yasanuri Kavabata and Kenzaburo Ōe became Nobel winners. From the very beginning wooden structures were accepted in Japanese architecture. The sliding doors were particularly used in interior. People usually sat on pillows or just on floors. The tables and the chairs were used only in the 19th century. The modern Japanese art includes anime, mangan, video plays, architecture sculpture and painting. As for the music, so it is very different. A lot of instruments, for instance, koto (stringed instrument) appeared in the 9th and the 10th centuries. However, the western innovations also appeared in Japan in the 19th century. Rice, lapsha, seafood, vegetables and tufon (soya curd) are the main food types used in Japanese kitchen.
